Play man on the moon at Lac Abbé

Lake Abbe, also known as Lake Abhe Bad, is a salt lake, lying on the Ethiopia-Djibouti border. It is one of a chain of six connected lakes, which also includes lakes Gargori, Laitali, Gummare, Bario and Afambo. The lake is the ultimate destination of the Awash River, which is at the center of the Afar Triangle.

DJIBOUTI // This 'slice of the moon on the crust of the Earth* (as it's often called), actually has a lot more going on than Tranquillity Base. Walk across its parched, barren surface in the shadows of towering, steam-belching limestone chimneys, visit its mineral-rich hot springs, which sustain enigmatic local nomads, and admire pink flamingos posing against the rich blue sky. Stay for the unbelievable sunset, then spend the night to witness the sci-fi scene all over again at sunrise.
